Hunter Pence

Hunter Pence will be facing Erik Bedard and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Opening Day, and while many batters struggle against lefties, it doesn’t seem to bother Pence much. He hit .317 against southpaws last season, one point better than what he did against righties.

Pence loves to face the Pirates as he’s compiled a career .311 average against them with eight home runs, 39 RBI’s, a respectable .833 OPS, and 13 stolen bases -- the most he has against any single opponent.

Although PNC Park is mostly a pitcher-friendly stadium, Pence’s .330 lifetime batting average and .386 on-base percentage in Pittsburgh are his second-best career averages among National League fields.
